5 Travel Planning Tips and Tricks for 2019

As 2018 comes to a close, you are probably already planning your 2019 travels. You may already have a few domestic and international places you'd like to explore in the New Year. After all, traveling more often is an excellent New Year's resolution! As you spend the last weeks of this year daydreaming about your plans for 2019, take a look at these travel tips that will make your adventures a breeze and amp up the fun for a year of experiencing new places!

1. Pack Light

In 2019, challenge yourself to be a light packer. Not only will you save money on baggage, but you will also save time and energy by only having to pack, carry, and keep track of a few things. When you pack light, you will be able to enjoy your trip thoroughly and experience your destination stress-free. Of course, there are essentials you will need.

2. Splurge on Luxury

Use that money you saved on baggage and put it to good use on luxury services like massages, room service, and limo rides. If you are flying from BWI, you can rent the Baltimore limo service and be chauffeured to your hotel professionally and safely. You can also rent the Baltimore car service available for a stress-free pickup that gets you to your next stop.

3. Keep a Journal

Any chance to travel is the chance to meet new people, experience new places, and try new things. Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, abroad or domestic, take your pen and notebook with you at all times. You might not always have your laptop handy, but you can jot down an address, phone number, or poem quickly in your journal. Journaling is also a great way to capture exactly how you were feeling at that moment in time.

4. Start Researching Flights Now

If you know you want to travel to Paris in the fall, start looking into flights well in advance. Usually, flights get more and more expensive closer to the travel date. Some of the cheaper flights may get booked up if you don't book them in advance. This is also true of AirBnB. If you are planning to stay in an AirBnB, start looking now. They are far more limited than hotels and you may not be able to find one at all last minute.

5. Invest in Travel Insurance

This is the not-so-fun part of travel that no one likes to talk about. Many seasons travelers will tell you that if you can't afford travel insurance, then you can't afford to travel. This is true, especially when traveling abroad. Even if you don't think you will get hurt or sick, you never know what will happen. Travel insurance will save you thousands of dollars if you were to fall ill.
